NC was an early hero of mine, going back some 45 yrs when I encountered him as a grad student in Cambridge, MA, and he was beginning his mission as an anti-war/anti-imperialist spokesman (catapulting himself on his well-deserved rep for his Linguistics studies/theories). But, I have been troubled for years by his stance on 9/11. So, I was glad to see you "taking him on" re that issue.<br /><br />There is no doubt Chomsky is an intellectual heavyweight, but I think in terms of pure ratiocination, you got the better of him in the exchange! You made your positions clear from the beginning, NC assented, and then he gradually began to back-track, until he began to huff-and-puff about it. You kept your composure, even as Mr. C was losing his. It was as though he felt he had conceded too much at the beginning, had exposed himself too much (thinking he might easily outwit you if difficult subjects emerged in the interview) and then, realizing he could not "outwit" you, he withdrew unto his own majesty.<br /><br />A sad performance on his part. <br /><br />Alexander Cockburn of CounterPunch was also well-known for his refusal to countenance any discussion of 9/11, any challenge to the official narrative. (His heirs to the throne seem to have taken on that position, too.) Too bad.<br /><br />But, fortunately, obstinate fellows like you carry on in the best tradition of Thomas Paine, Mark Twain, Voltaire, et. al.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492007072400883438.post-87069033497327737942013-11-20T12:38:55.734-08:002013-11-20T12:38:55.734-08:00Kevin, you are right and I am glad that you posted...Kevin, you are right and I am glad that you posted his emails. I knew he was a fraud when he stated on Democracy Now! that "it doesn't matter who did 9/11". <br /><br />I don't listen to Noam or Democracy Now any longer.

He is a gatekeeper of the worst kind, mollifying the intelligentsia to stay in line with the degenerate status quo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492007072400883438.post-87640377141563122762013-11-11T09:40:21.646-08:002013-11-11T09:40:21.646-08:00I remember what my comments were about, before the...I remember what my comments were about, before they were mysteriously deleted (at VT): <br /><br />I was speculating:<br /><br />- Chomsky could simply be mistaken wrt 9/11. I've found, these (subconscious) blind spots appear in the minds of the most logical of people.<br /> <br />- I believe Bush Sr may well have orchestrated the bombing or the WTC on 9/11<br /><br />- I think Bush Sr. and gang were still worried about those missing heat seeking(?) missiles the Mujahadeen (later rebraded as "al Qaeda") refused to give back, even for millions, gave our glorious leaders the heebeejeebees, keeping them up at night.<br /><br />PS -- Like most things I come across in the "news" (hah!), I wonder about that downed airplane over long island way back…you know, the one with lots of witnesses saying they saw a streak of light up to it. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492007072400883438.post-78570355159059787002013-11-11T07:01:23.217-08:002013-11-11T07:01:23.217-08:00Thanks Kevin,

If more people had any idea where this Zionist fascism is taking us they would be up in arms instantly. <br />I can't believe that our world has come to this.......they have enslaved us.
